Suggest Treatment For Back Pain Radiating Down Leg And Depression

I am currently taking several medications. these include estradiol 1 mg for HRT; duloxetine DR 60 mg for some depression but it is also proven to help w pain; triameterene 37.5 /HCTZ 25 mg for swelling in ankles that doesn t occur now and BP is 120 over 60 this morning, tramadol 50 mg 3 times a day for pain; gabapentin 300 mg at night for pain; aciphex 20 mg for burping and chlordiazepoxide/clidinium capsule as needed for reflux. I have 3 discs in my back L4 and L5 and S1 that are almost disintegrated. I am on a pain mangement program with a physician. That is the reason for tramadol and now, gabapetin at night. I am 60 years old and weigh 220 pounds and am a Caucasian female, height 5 10.5 I have already lost 35 pounds by doing a lo carb diet with little to no exercise bc of my back and pain down my leg. I have been given a prescription for regimex 25 mg as an appetite suppressant to help me get rid of the next 40 pounds I intend to lose.. I was told it was all natural . I have researched it and I am thinking it is not all natural but an amphetamine. I have not taken it yet. Are there any drug interactions with what I am currently taking and regimex?

Hi,

You can use physiotherapy. Cranio-sacral therapy is proved to be very good in my patients, 3% to 4% of patients show musculo-skeletal pain with the above medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
